Solve the problem.When a tow truck is called, the cost of the service is given by the linear function
, where y is in dollars and x is the number of miles the car is towed. Find and interpret the slope and y-intercept of the linear equation.
A. m = 3; The cost of the service increases $3 every mile the car is towed. ; The cost of the service is $50 if the car is not towed.
B. m = 3; The number of miles the car is towed increases 3 miles for every dollar spent on the service. ; The tow truck will tow the car 50 miles for no cost.
C. m = 50; The number of miles the car is towed increases 50 miles for every dollar spent on the service. ; The tow truck will tow the car 3 miles for no cost.
D. m = 50; The cost of the service increases $50 every mile the car is towed. ; The cost of the service is $3 if the car is not towed.
